We are happy to release today our first plug-in—PicApp
Plug-in for WordPress.

 

What is so great about it?

 

The Plug-in gives you, blogger and online publisher, access
to PicApp’s images straight from your WordPress editor, after a quick and easy
installation you will be able to search and add creative and editorial images
to your post from within the editor, there is no limit to how many images you
can add using the plug-in, and all the great features we have such as ability
to re-size images and control image alignment are available here as well. The
plug-in will also showcase some of the most recent images added to PicApp—for
some inspiration.

It supports version 2.3 and newer.

 

Thinkstock Single Image Set

The plug-in is now available on WordPress directory, so be sure to check it out. This additional post provides all info needed for getting it installed with links to FAQ’s and  Demo.

Good news: we are growing- adding images, signing up new content partners and adding more publishers to our rapidly growing user community.
Not so good news: we need to move to a better, more scalable hosting service to accommodate our growth and growth plans.

As happens with such IT transitions, the move is gradual and does not happen in one day. We do want you to know we are working around the clock to enable you, our publishers a better experience. Once completed not only we'll have a more reliable hosting service but also a CDN in place to stream images to your blog even faster.

In the meantime you may be experiencing slower load time of images and\or image captions or ads- our sincere apologies.

We will keep you posted, feel free to contact us at discover[at]picapp.com.
